Effects of Continuous Catheterization on Reducing Postoperative Urinary Tract Infection in Cervical Cancer Patients with Double J Stent Placement

Abstract

This study aims at exploring the effect of continuous catheterization on reducing postoperative urinary tract infection in cervical cancer patients with double J tube placement. To be specific, a retrospective analysis was performed on 120 cases of cervical cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic or open radical hysterectomy in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January to December 2019. They were divided into a persistent group (n = 70) and a short-term group (n = 50) according to indwelling catheter time. The incidence of postoperative complications and the positive rate of bacterial culture in bladder urine and double J tube bacterial culture were compared between the two groups. As a result, it was found that the incidence of postoperative fever and urinary tract infection in the short-term group was significantly higher than that in the persistent group ( P < 0.05 ). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative hematuria, bladder stimulation, and urinary system injury between the two groups. The positive rate of double J tube bacterial culture in both groups was also proved to be higher than that in bladder culture, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). And in the short-term group ( P < 0.05 ), the difference in the positive rate of bladder culture between the two groups was not statistically significant. To conclude, we found that continuous catheterization can reduce the incidence of postoperative urinary tract infection in cervical cancer patients with double J tube placement, which might be helpful for the treatment of cervical cancer.

Predictive Factors of Successful Double J Stent Insertion Among Advanced Cervical Cancer Patients

“…However, the optimal duration of stent retention to reduce postoperative urinary complications remains a topic of debate. Research indicates that ureteral stents may not reduce the frequency of ureteral stricture in cervical cancer patients following radiotherapy [ 16 , 17 ]. Regular stent replacement and potential complications associated with stent placement make preoperative stent placement a cautious approach in the clinical management of cervical cancer patients receiving postoperative radiotherapy [ 17 ].…”
